Abstract

The increasing concerns about CO2 emissions and climate change have pointed out the urgency of promoting sustainability in the building sector. One promising solution to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings and diminish environmental impact is the integration of phase-change materials (PCMs) into ventilated façade systems. This review article critically examines the current state of research on this innovative approach, with a particular focus on fire safety considerations. The paper explores the integration of PCM into ventilated façades, highlighting the potential for significant improvements in energy consumption, thermal comfort, and reductions in CO2 emissions. However, the flammability of PCMs introduces substantial fire safety challenges that must be addressed to ensure the safe application of this solution. The fire safety of both ventilated façades and PCMs is approached, followed by specific fire safety concerns when PCMs are integrated into ventilated façade systems. The conclusion states that while the integration of PCMs into ventilated façades offers substantial environmental benefits, attention to fire safety is essential. This necessitates the implementation of rigorous fire protection measures during the design and construction phases. By addressing both the environmental advantages and fire safety challenges, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential and limitations of PCM-integrated ventilated façades, offering valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and policymakers in the field of sustainable buildings.
将相变材料融入通风外墙:消防安全与未来挑战综述
人们对二氧化碳排放和气候变化的关注与日俱增,这表明在建筑领域促进可持续发展迫在眉睫。将相变材料 (PCM) 集成到通风幕墙系统中,是提高建筑能效和减少环境影响的一个很有前景的解决方案。这篇综述文章对这一创新方法的研究现状进行了批判性审查,尤其侧重于消防安全方面的考虑。文章探讨了将 PCM 集成到通风幕墙中的问题,强调了在显著改善能耗、热舒适度和减少二氧化碳排放方面的潜力。然而,PCM 的易燃性带来了巨大的消防安全挑战,必须加以解决,以确保这一解决方案的安全应用。本文探讨了通风外墙和 PCM 的消防安全问题,然后介绍了将 PCM 集成到通风外墙系统时的具体消防安全问题。结论指出,虽然将 PCM 集成到通风幕墙中能带来巨大的环境效益,但必须注意防火安全。这就要求在设计和施工阶段采取严格的防火措施。通过探讨环境优势和消防安全挑战,本综述旨在全面了解 PCM 集成通风外墙的潜力和局限性,为可持续建筑领域的研究人员、工程师和决策者提供有价值的见解。
